Nokia is also anticipating a massive hit in its global smartphone market share to Google Android handsets and Apple iPhone. Among the four main American carriers, BlackBerry has slipped from the top spot. Sprint’s top seller is the HTC Evo 4G; T-Mobile’s front-runner is the MyTouch 3G Slide; the Droid Incredible and Motorola Droid are kings of Verizon, and the iPhone 4 is obviously AT&T’s darling now.

From Htcyou: To facilitate your rooting of the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide, observe the video embedded below and follow the instructions posted by eugene373 and his crew of Android anarchists. More »

From Htcyou: From TMO News are some glad tidings for MyTouch 3G owners like myself: Android 2.2 FroYo is “coming soon.” More »

From Htcyou: Is this a clear sign that T-Mobile is struggling to move MyTouch 3G Slide pre-orders? Certainly. Companies do not, out of generosity, just routinely lower prices on unreleased products. $180/$200 was ridiculous, and although $50 is an appreciable cut, I cannot help but pine for the Motorola Droid for the same amount.

From Htcyou: Making room for the shamefully overpriced $179.99 HTC MyTouch 3G Slide, T-Mobile is giving away the MyTouch 3G for free online when customers sign up for a 2-year contract. Inexplicably, the G1 is being listed at $99.99, but who would buy one now? More »

From Htcyou: HTC has confirmed that the Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, MyTouch Slide, and Desire are on the priority list to receive Android 2.2 updates, but none of them is getting the new OS until the second half of this year. Although HTC has not made a statement about 2009 models, the adverb that “most” 2010 units will get FroYo indicates to me that there is no chance for the likes of the G1, MyTouch 3G, and Droid Eris since not “all” 2010 smartphones will be upgraded.

From Htcyou: The grapevine buzz is that June 2nd or 16th is the release date, but the prices seem to be accurate. $399.99 hits the sweet spot for most consumers and is very competitive with what is out there currently; however, $150 with a 2-year contract is ridiculous when Best Buy is offering the Motorola Droid for $129.99 and Motorola Devour at $69.99 with new 24-month terms from Verizon.

From Htcyou: There was no sense in Sprint’s selling the Google Nexus One when the HTC Evo 4G is so close to launch. Google should have offered its smartphone on Sprint’s CDMA network months ago when there was room for it. Like Verizon’s Droid Incredible, the Evo 4G surpasses the Nexus One in every way except price. In some humorous news, would you like to buy a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide before its official release?

From Htcyou: Hey, you, do you fancy an unboxing gallery of HTC’s unreleased MyTouch 3G Slide? T-Mobile will be carrying the G1/Dream replacement within a month or so. More »

From Htcyou: As usual, the Engadget staff gets all of the spoils. Just confirmed for June availability, T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide has Ziegler’s itchy fingers all over it. The new T-Mobile Android 2.1 smartphone’s HTC myTouch pedigree is palpable. More »
